Giving New Life to Track And Safer Entertainment For Kids

Body
A number of years ago a group of individuals built a cement track just north of the baseball field in Callaway to be used for offroad motorsports, primarily go-kart racing at the time. However, the track has not been used for some time and has become overgrown with weeds and small trees. Now a new group of community members is stepping forward to revitalize the track and make it usable once again.
The Callaway Village Board gave the green light during their Aug. 8 meeting to begin cleanup and restoration of the go-kart track north of the ballfield. (Courier file photo)
